PLV2A100MDL1

The PLV2A100MDL1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead, can-style package. It combines a high voltage rating (100 V) with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Designed for long-term operation, this part is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, operates from –55°C to +105°C, complies with RoHS, and carries AEC-Q200 qualification for use in automotive electronics and other high-reliability systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 10 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage, tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid electrolyte formulation providing low ESR and stable performance across temperature.
• Low ESR — ESR of 42 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C), supporting low-loss operation in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current — 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.8 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and decoupling in power stages.
• Long-Life Endurance — Rated endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ, ESR, and leakage current after test.
• Temperature Range and Reliability — Operating range –55°C to +105°C; AEC-Q200 compliant for automotive-level qualification.
• Through-Hole Radial Package — Radial lead mounting with 3.5 mm lead spacing in a compact can (approx. 1.2 × 0.8 cm), compatible with lead-free flow soldering profiles.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Power-supply decoupling and smoothing in automotive control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• High-Voltage Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and high-frequency decoupling for DC–DC converters and power rails that require a 100 V rating and low ESR.
• Power Electronics: Filtering in motor drivers and power stages where high ripple current capability and long-term elevated-temperature endurance are important.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage rails and power-supply designs without series stacking.
• Low Loss, High-Frequency Performance: 42 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 1.8 A ripple current at 100 kHz support efficient high-frequency decoupling.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for long-duration elevated-temperature applications.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 compliance aligns the part with automotive electronics reliability requirements.
• Radial Through-Hole Format: Compact radial can with 3.5 mm lead spacing and lead-free solder compatibility simplifies PCB layout and assembly for through-hole designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and regulatory requirements.
